They have a much thinner outer shell and less flesh on the inside. That makes them easier to carve and create all sorts of fun and spooky designs.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also notice that they are stringier than pie pumpkins and contain more water, which makes them less ideal for creating sweet treats. So pick the most giant pumpkin you can find and get your carving tools out because Halloween is almost here!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Pie_Pumpkin\"><\/span>What Is a Pie Pumpkin?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9922\" style=\"width: 928px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9922 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/0dc2625d923a55fb1d399335a1e2de69\/p\/uploads\/2019\/09\/5e717c47.jpg\" alt=\"A pie pumpkin in the center, with a basket of gourds, and a large carving pumpkin in the background.\" width=\"928\" height=\"667\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Emilee Unterkoefler<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Pie pumpkins are used for cooking or baking and are also called sugar pumpkins. They are more petite and are often used to decorate or paint rather than carve.\u00a0 Although they make adorable front porch d\u00e9cor, they are best when roasted in the oven and baked into your favorite fall desserts.<\/p>\n<p>You can find sugar pumpkins at the supermarket or a farmer\u2019s market stand. They have more flesh, aren\u2019t as stringy as carving pumpkins, and contain less water, giving them a sweeter and more delightful flavor.<\/p>\n<p>So if you have baking plans, grab yourself a few sugar pumpkins and preheat that oven. Roasting a pumpkin can be done in just a few simple steps.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Use_One_for_the_Other\"><\/span>Can You Use One for the Other?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By all means, you\u2019re more than welcome to use a big carving pumpkin to roast and puree, but we don\u2019t recommend it. Because the larger pumpkins are full of water, you\u2019ll have to rid all that liquid before creating most dishes.<\/p>\n<p>Carving pumpkins aren\u2019t as high in sugar as pie pumpkins, so they aren\u2019t ideal for all the sweet treats you\u2019ll want to make. The thicker amount of pumpkin meat inside a sugar pumpkin is just what you\u2019ll want and need.<\/p>\n<p>As far as carving a sugar pumpkin goes, we wouldn\u2019t recommend that either. Sugar pumpkins are denser and have thicker skin, which makes carving more difficult and dangerous. For safety\u2019s sake, stick to carving pumpkins for, well, carving.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>setTimeout(function(){!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init','267914477473431');fbq('track','PageView');},3000);<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more like this article, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Technology category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/9871\/whats-the-difference-between-a-carving-pumpkin-and-a-pie-pumpkin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#What\u2019s the Difference Between a Carving Pumpkin and a Pie Pumpkin? \u2013 LifeSavvy&#8221; Jacqui Martin\/Shutterstock You\u2019ve gone to the pumpkin patch to choose the perfect shape and size for your carving extravaganza, but is this the same type of pumpkin you\u2019d use for baking?
